Cassava Smartech Zimbabwe, Now Trading As EcoCash Holdings Zimbabwe, In Strong Showing At ZITF

BULAWAYO – Diversified fintech giant Cassava Smartech Zimbabwe Limited, which is now rebranding as EcoCash Holdings Zimbabwe Limited, is exhibiting at this year’s Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) where it has put up a state-of-the-art stand bringing together all its business units and brands.

Although attendance at this year’s edition of the ZITF is somewhat subdued due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the attendant restrictive measures, EcoCash Holdings Zimbabwe decided to bet on the country’s premier business exhibition to showcase it group’s products and services.

The listed fintech and digital group’s business assets comprises mobile money, digital banking, payments services, international remittances, insurance, agritech, edtech, waste management, ride-hailing, logistics and e-commerce, among others.

Mr Eddie Chibi, EcoCash Holdings Zimbabwe’s CEO, said the group was honoured to participate at this year’s ZITF at a time the economy is recovering from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are committed to showcasing what our businesses have to offer – the latest technology and state-of-the-art services and products we have deployed in the market – and the Trade Fair provides us with an ideal opportunity and platform to do so.

“Our presence here allows us to interact with our customers and to strengthen our growing commercial relationships with various business partners and stakeholders, as well as forge new, mutually beneficial partnerships,” Mr Chibi said.
